At first I questioned the wisdom of Jay putting my covers in the backpack of a guy riding his horse from Minnesota to Arizona. However, after tracking the package on the Saddle Sore Transport web page, I gotta say that sonuvagun is making good time indeed. Horse feed and a couple bottles of cheap whiskey sure trumps UPS rates.

Sadly, the delivery rider dropped dead a few miles north of here from lack of food and water. Must have worked at Amazon prior. His horse was kind enough to bury him and transfer the package to UPS, and it arrived here just a few minutes ago.

This UPS driver is the backup for the regular guy, and has never been here before. Of course, he could see over the fence in his van. "Excited" at what he saw is an understatement. Big fan of old cars, and even knew what FE's are. I told him the item in the box was something unique and limited production just for FE's. He couldn't guess, so I let him open the box. You should have seen the look on his face. Little kid on Christmas! Oh wow! So we yakked for 20 minutes about cars and he had to boogie.

I'm such a nice guy, aren't I?

Anyway, construction is stout. Appearance is extra nifty. My only complaint is that I didn't get any FE Power stickers like everyone else. Not with the intake adapter, either. I'm thinking Jay doesn't want his company associated with old, decrepit FElony. Makes sense to me.

Well,that was an oversight on my part because there is supposed to be a sticker with every pair of valve covers.  I will send you a couple, as long as you promise to say that you stole them, if anyone asks  ;D

I am FElony. If asked, I will claim to having tortured you by tickling with feathers from your own chickens. I would never admit to a mere misdemeanor.

Yes, I have a few sets left that I will be bringing, assuming they don't sell out before hand.

Just let everyone know I will have a set of Jay`s clear covers at Beaver Springs mounted on my 56 F100/with the 427 in it, even made a 2x4 air cleaner for it to top it off.

How many years do you estimate the plastic not to haze?

I don't know why it would ever haze or go yellow, its polycarbonate (Lexan).  The materials we have now are far, far better than what the old clear valve covers from the 60s and 70s used.  Mine have been on my car for three years now, they still look perfect.

Even if it were to haze a bit, you could clean it with a solvent to get rid of any oil residue, and take a benzene torch(burns clean) and carefully bring the flame into contact with the haze, and the lexan would clear up.  Joe-JDC
